03:57:55 Devastator: ugh, gotta work on Quest.
04:54:30 Devastator: that's Nik. I'll do yours in a bit.
05:06:53 ER: ...does this mean that I get to duel him?
05:07:40 Devastator: You can. I'll introduce Nik after the fight. He could be at the next oasis.
05:07:58 Devastator: You don't have to fight him, but I'm saying the six-fingered man ewnt on the quest in a previous year.
05:08:26 Devastator: That said, Nik has a bigger combat skill, but a worse wound check.
05:11:35 Devastator: The Man in Black would be a hard character.
05:51:59 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 4 <Total: 4>
05:52:39 GameServ: Syntax: XdY [ {-|+|*|/} Z ]
05:52:45 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 10 <Total: 10(-5) = 5>
05:53:20 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 2 <Total: 2(+5) = 7>
05:53:29 Devastator: Wow, good work there, Xin. ;-p
05:54:00 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 4 <Total: 4(-7) = -3>
05:54:20 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 9 <Total: 9(+2) = 11>
05:54:28 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d2: 2 <Total: 2>
05:55:02 Devastator: Both of you got it, it went down.
05:55:05 Devastator: but it got Xin back.
05:55:14 Devastator: Just checking how many hits Xin has taken.
05:55:40 Devastator: should be at -3 now.
05:55:46 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 7 <Total: 7(-3) = 4>
05:56:00 Devastator: Phew. Getting a bit risky there. ;-p
06:47:52 Devastator: Mostly a time break, but you can go looking.

07:55:47 Devastator: Nik can come in at the next oasis or the next land.
07:59:21 ER: guessing you meant to just send last turn to me an
sy
08:00:05 ER: which is to say that what you did was intentional, not that you messed it up~
08:00:22 Devastator: Nah, Nik hasn't seen any turns.
08:00:30 Devastator: no sense in not letting him in the game.
08:47:04 Devastator: "The end of war has caused our Fleet Admiral Equia Gokaal to acquire a new character trait: Drunk."

17:16:48 Devastator: I'll intro you at the next oasis.
17:16:53 Devastator: so should be in about two updates.
17:17:46 Devastator: I'm going to assume your character dueled his way through the first area.
17:18:01 Devastator: full of knights and such.
17:18:15 Devastator: But how yould Inigo deal with the next area?
17:18:53 Devastator: it's full of living metal creatures that are basically vehicle-sized and roll about on wheels.
17:28:32 Devastator: Do you think Inigo would just play through or would he sneak around?
17:30:29 Nikitian: What do you mean by play through,
Dev? Maybe I'm not getting the idea of the next area good enough
17:31:48 Devastator: I mean 'plow through'
17:31:53 Nikitian: But sneaking around when there is no need to fight seems like the prudent choice; Inigo's beef is not with them, and going west is more important
17:32:06 Devastator: like would he just fight whatever challenged him, even if it's a vehicle-sized metal creature?
17:40:14 Nikitian: If he got challenged, and it was a suitably honourable or heroic call out, he'd generally fight (out of respect for opponent), but I don't think he would openly seek fight just for its own sake, neither against easy opponent nor against visibly much more dangerous one
17:43:17 Devastator: Nah, they don't really do honor with bipedal creatures.
17:43:26 Devastator: Can't race them. ;-p
17:45:00 Devastator: Yeah. Big on racing.
17:45:22 Devastator: (It's essentially a land based on the setting of the Cars movies.)
17:45:33 ER: rolla would beat one if it were like, a race accross provinces
17:45:45 Nikitian: Why do I feel that Egan in my place would have tried making a chariot or a skateboard just to oblige them? :D
17:46:11 Devastator: You can run forever, yeah, but you'd need bad terrain. ;-p
19:36:58 ER: think any more information for Zilla would be good?
21:26:38 Nikitian: Err. Well, a little more general information on Zilla's strong and weak sides might be good
21:27:52 Nikitian: You've already covered the specific stuff, and some of it flows naturally into generic, but some generalizations are still missing from the picture
21:31:28 Nikitian: Actually, maybe you're fine :) There are still a couple missing pieces, but the puzzle is almost complete
21:32:55 Nikitian: You can still write more, if you want, of course
21:33:32 Nikitian: (aand sorry for taking long to respond)

23:09:35 ER: what do you mean by generalizations?
Nikitian? Zilla seems to already have all her attributes.
23:12:29 Nikitian: Hm, my bad. Maybe I should've went given more info right away instead of trying to ease you guys (and myself from writing the explanations yesterday ^^" )
23:14:08 Nikitian: Anyway, I'll explain it in the next update in full, but the short version is that there actually is an extra layer between proficiencies (which are ad-hoc) and attributes (which are more like aptitudes/potentials, as well as hp bars), where generalised skills go
23:15:32 Nikitian: Basically, proficiencies can be fairly narrow or wide in scope, but they are more use-case oriented, while skills are limited in number, shared by everyone (like attributes) and strive to cover all possibilities
23:17:12 Nikitian: But you have covered half or more of them in your earlier description anyway :)
23:18:04 Nikitian: ...It's more cases like Jay that I'm worried about now >.>
23:26:58 Nikitian: Okay, Illgeo said that he would write in ~10 hours, and for the sake of quality of writing, I should probably go to sleep and write tomorrow morning instead of rushing something now; hardest of choices require strongest of wills
23:29:36 Nikitian: Aw, sorry to disappoint :|
23:30:33 Nikitian: Ah, okay :) It can be hard reading emotion from plaintext
